High School:

Catechism is thought out so that the students who believe feel comfortable and those who have doubts don’t feel rejected.

Being of optional assistance, one can freely choose to partake in confirmation in Third Year and, for that, prepare throughout three years to receive this sacrament that completes and perfects the grace received in baptism. Students are weekly accompanied by the school’s chaplain that takes confession and clears the doubts that they might have.

Retreats are programmed once a year; since the first year. It is a completely different space. A comfortable house, surrounded by nature; with no obligations or technology, where everyone can show their best. In this space, they take in the feedback from the interactions with their colleagues and aides -students from the last years of high school and graduates.

The retreat known as Cenacle – which started to take place in 1986 – is for older students and takes place during the weekend. Its dynamic has been continuously improved by the support and input of all the graduates that have participated in its organization, with their own ideas and others learned in retreats outside of school.

We believe that things can always be improved. That is why we count on the participation of families, who are the main educators and guides in a student’s faith.
